Raffle-Ticket-R.jpg.jpeg I raved about the 99% Conference happening this coming Thursday at the Times Center in NYC put on by our dear friends over at Behance already. But what about giving away a free ticket to the awesome and inspiring festivities? I’ve got one sitting here ($490 value) and will give it to the 99th person who leaves a comment on this post. Yes, you can comment more than once. GO GO GO!

Don’t worry, if you don’t win this arbitary contest, you still have time to buy one!

Update: Congrats to Nick. Contact me to get your ticket!


Sad Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:01 pm

Clearly I am not the 99th. But I was first, maybe.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:02 pm

I’m all up for free things, but is no one else posting on here? Really?


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:02 pm

If I don’t get a ticket this way I just might be buying one.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:03 pm

You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down. ?! Grrr!


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:03 pm

You don’t tell a winner to slow down. I can’t see any one else’s posts. That makes me sad.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:04 pm

#99!


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:04 pm

am i 99?


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:04 pm

Tempting fate!


TRNYc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:04 pm

I might make all 99 comments, just kidding


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:04 pm

Arg like a pirate! We’re the other awesome thinktank in NYC!


LeeAnn Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:05 pm

how hilarious that no one has posted….is everyone just waiting to count until 99?


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:05 pm

Sadly though, all of our thinking has been in private. Our new site will be up soon though, and then we shall see what we might do together!


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:05 pm

You know I really don’t know why I’m still sitting here, I suspect I’ve already lost the 99th ticket.


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:06 pm

when will you announce the winner?


Brad Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:06 pm

GO GO GO!


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:06 pm

What clever tricks you guys pull to make me sit here.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:06 pm

Never give up!


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:07 pm

Josh please tweet that it is over.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:07 pm

Now that I’ve made the 99th comment!


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:08 pm

…and for my next trick…


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:08 pm

i wonder


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:08 pm

This is going to show up in our google rankings. Oh the sacrifices I make for a free ticket.


Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:08 pm

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer…


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:09 pm

i think this is around number 14 or so


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:09 pm

Ironically I decided last week I shouldn’t go to the 99% conference because we have too much work to finish over here. Going could be considered counter-productive.


TRNYc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:09 pm

wow!


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:09 pm

nick,

pleasure battling you for this ticket. :)

kareem


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:09 pm

Can you just tweet the winner now pls


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:09 pm

FTW!!!


Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:09 pm

Take one down, pass it around…


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:10 pm

I bet I’m one of the only people doing this.


TRNYc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:10 pm

nick is on fire!


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:10 pm

now?


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:10 pm

Oh finally I can see some other people


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:11 pm

This is worse than when you’d call radio stations in the 90’s trying to win tickets to see Primus… or was that just me?


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:11 pm

if only there was speed dial for commenting


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:11 pm

You are posting comments too quickly, slow down!


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:12 pm

sigh… you’re all just waiting and counting my posts, aren’t you?


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:12 pm

i cant wait any longer


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:12 pm

Kareem, I look forward to one of us going to this.


Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:12 pm

Give it to Nick already.


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:13 pm

thursday is so soon


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:13 pm

I’m not on fire, I’m just damn interested in saving $400


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:13 pm

We’re nearly half-way there supposedly.


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:14 pm

pwn


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:14 pm

You could say that all this comment spamming is bad PR for us


Jason Douglas Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:14 pm

ooh… a contest! Good luck everyone!


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:15 pm

nick,

maybe they will be nice and give us both tickets…i mean, we are trying really hard right now.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:15 pm

lol


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:15 pm

I’m sorry for being so eager, I’m sure it won’t make a difference in the end


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:15 pm

i like jason douglas, i used to work with that guy


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:15 pm

54 comments of beer on the wall…


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:16 pm

best contest ever


Josh Spear Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:16 pm

You guys are cracking me up. I’m going to not approve for 5 minutes and see where we net out. Good luck everyone.


TRNYc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:16 pm

Need more comments! :)


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:16 pm

sigh


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:16 pm

i keep trying to count but its nearly impossible.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:16 pm

;) loooove you josh


Jason Douglas Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:16 pm

Kareem, hello! :|

Thanks for tweeting this, that’s why I am here!


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:17 pm

please approve.


Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:17 pm

There’s a 99% chance that Nick will win this.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:17 pm

When our website launches we’ll hold ridiculous contests like this as well, and then you (josh) and your whole crew can come spam us


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:17 pm

this message brought to you by kareem


Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:17 pm

But I don’t play the odds.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:18 pm

I should also say if I don’t win (AND if I do) that we should talk


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:18 pm

gotta be 99 by now. joshspear you devil.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:18 pm

We run a thinktank as well, though we’ve got a different model I do believe


Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:18 pm

Into the void.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:18 pm

and as I said before, our website doesn’t reflect our business growth


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:19 pm

nick?


TRNYc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:19 pm

How ’bout them Knicks?


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:19 pm

Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:19 pm

Where’s Nick. Sneaky bastard.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:19 pm

You are posting comments too quickly! Slow down!~


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:19 pm

Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:19 pm

Marc Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:20 pm

Wasn’t there a really crappy 80’s song called “99″?


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:20 pm

kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:20 pm

Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:20 pm

This has to be somewhere close to the end already.


Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:21 pm

I wish you guys could just call me and tell me to stop.


kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:21 pm

Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:21 pm

kareem Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:22 pm

Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:22 pm

Nick Tuesday, 04.14.09 @ 12:22 pm
